Question Time Lyrics - Artist : Dave
Look
A question for the new prime minister How'd you have a heart so sinister? How are you so wasteful when people are dying in Somalia Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya? The irony is we have no business in Syria But kids are getting killed for all the business in Syria And then they try and tell you it's ISIS, it's ISIS In their attempts at killing it, how many civilians Died, so what's the difference between us and them? When you got drones killing kids just touching ten Then when a bomb goes off, every politician's lost Like that last strike that didn't kill a hundred men You ain't the same as them But all that fuel for the fire is what you gave to them And what you take from them All my life I know my mum's been working In and out of nursing, struggling, hurting I just find it fucked that the government is struggling To care for a person that cares for a person So where's the discussion on wages and budgets? How they made them redundant when I was a young'un The letters in our car said my mum was overdraft But somehow I still had dinner money in my pocket And even the little things like ordering pizza Were probably the reason for overtime in the evening Five till ten, six hours of sleeping For 22 years my mum was doing the cleaning Dreaming that her kids would have a better life Go in bed at night, struggling with getting by That's the reality for millions of people in a nation Where a lot of us were looking for a second try A question for the new prime minister And please, tell me if I'm being narrowminded But how do we spend so much money on defence And weapons to wage war when the NHS is dying? Bursting at the seams, and what about them people That voted for us to leave for the money that it would see? 350 million we give to the EU every week That our health service needs But now them politicians got what they wanted Can you see an empty promise or a poster on the street? Nurses in tears 'cause they're working every hour of the week And they still don't have the money that they need You brought the heart of the nation to its knees Underpaid, understaffed, overworked And overseen by people who can't ever understand How it feels to live life like you and me Patients lying in the corridors 'Cause doctors can't even find a bed for them to sleep I remember A |
